Comforting thought. That is what rec
onciles US to being without riches.
Here is something of value and interest
to housekeepers. To clean tinware. max

Adodnce:
Fear God, love your wife, honor Uncle
Sam, pay your taxes and scratch every
ScalaWag on the ticket.
The Interests of town like Henderson
should be considered above those of any
mere individual or set Of individuals. Let
the public good be considered first always.

At convention OF the funeral directors
throughout the State, recently held in Raj
eigh, our townsman Mr.. john NJ. Barnes
was elected treasurer of the Association. A
good selection. There is no more worthy,
upright and conscientious man in the bust
ness.
The many friends of Mr.. James A. O'Neil
who has been so desperately i'll for several
weeks, will be pleased to learn that he is
rapidly recovering. He is now in fair way
to final recovery and tile indications are
that he will soGn be out and attending to
business again.

Mrs. Strause of Richmond, mother of
Messrs Nathan and Abe Strause, to Hen
derson to live. Two younger sons come
with her and will make this their home
also. Our people will extend them cor
dial welcome.
We have heard no complaint about the
dust for the last two weeks. The rain has
had the effect of settling that, as we'll as
those who short while ago were grumb-
ling on that account. But oh. the mud, the
J mud What are the dear people going to
do about that?

the GOLD LEAF fail to get it hereafter,

member when there was so much raj
during fall season as we have experience
